Who Am I?
Does it matter what you think I am?
Should it matter?
Judging is what you do best.
You talk of that filthy prostitute
That thief
That murderer
That liar?
The point is, you like pointing fingers;
But do you know what made that ‘filthy prostitute’
That ‘thief’
That ‘murderer’
That ‘liar’?
It’s so easy for me to embrace the darkness
Because it’s all I’ve ever known.
I became a thief
Because I had to make do
When some nights I had to sleep on an empty stomach
I became a prostitute
Because it was the only way I could cope with the demons inside me
Which were initiated the night my own blood
Decided I was old enough to play ‘mommy and daddy’
I became a murderer because the same demons inside of me,
Initiated by my own blood on that bloody night,
Could not take it any more
And begged to be unleashed.
So, does it matter what you think I am?
Should it matter to me?
I don?t think so..
’Cause you don’t the f*** I went through to be here today.
